Gayly Forward

Long & McQuade

Because of our commitment to fostering a love of music in the community, Gayly Forward is always searching for ways to reduce any barriers to entry. That's why we're delighted to announce that we're now officially sponsored by Long & McQuade!

As Canada's largest retailer of musical instruments, Long & McQuade has been invaluable to our endeavours from the start. Now they've graciously offered to lend us instruments from their rental supply, allowing eager would-be marchers a chance to shine without needing to have their own. So far we've received flutes, saxophones, and a sousaphone, that are all happily being played by members.

We'd like to thank Long & McQuade for their contribution to our humble organization, and with their help we hope we'll continue to grow and thrive as a band!
